Award-Winning Elma Foric Joins as Creative Director
TORONTO, Oct. 7, 2020 /CNW/ - Hill+Knowlton Strategies Canada has strengthened its Innovation + Creativity Hub with the addition of Elma Foric as Creative Director. H+K's I+C Hub brings together creative strategists, content + publishing strategists, behavioural scientists, digital planning + optimization experts, and data + analytics specialists to provide clients with innovative and integrated solutions.

Together, H+K's I+C Hub provides clients with access to proprietary tools such as our behavioural science communications model SMARTER™.
"I'm very excited to be joining the exceptionally talented and dynamic team at H+K," said Foric.

It's never been more important to convey messages in a creative and compelling way."
